Water Less Save More - Turn your sprinkler system off during the fall and winter months - Video
Michael Rugh sees plenty of misinformation and misunderstanding when it comes the topic of home fire sprinklers.
And he hopes that a new push for education could be what is needed to get the state to finally pass legislation requiring sprinklers in new homes.
Rugh, the assistant fire chief for Union Fire Company in Carlisle and the fire marshal for the state police, announced Wednesday that the Carlisle Volunteer Firefighters received a $1,000 stipend to educate the public on home sprinkler systems via public service announcements.
Those PSAs will run in various media outlets, as well as one specifically targeted area movie theaters.
The national nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition is funding these stipends to firefighting organizations across the country and one big reason why its doing it is to dispel myths perpetrated in Hollywood movies about sprinklers.
According to Rugh, unlike what viewers see on television and in movies, a fire in one room will not trigger the sprinkler system in every part of the house or business and only the high temperature of a fire not cigar smoke or burnt toast will set off the system.
All theyre doing is starting to educate the public, Rugh said of PSAs.
Some of the advertisements include a 30-second comical spoof showing a burglar attempting to set off the sprinkler system from another room during a dance party, and succeeding in setting off only the sprinkler above him.
PSA
For Rugh, a telling PSA compares the effects of a fire at a home without a sprinkler system and a home with a sprinkler system. The former has a charred room and the other only had fire damage to the curtains before the sprinkler system doused the fire.

Malton Library sheds light on IT for beginners
7:30am Thursday 10th January 2013 in Ryedale news
ANYONE who is keen to get to grips with the world of computers and internet technology is invited to find out more at a special session at Malton library.
An ITea and Biscuits drop-in day on Thursday, January 17, will give people the chance to discover the range of computer taster courses on offer. The event runs from 10am-2pm when staff will be on hand to help everyone decide which course is the most suitable.
The drop-in day aims to ensure that everyone, old or young, can discover the everyday benefits of being online and using different technologies.
County Coun Chris Metcalfe, executive member for library and information services, said: ITea and Biscuits is a friendly introduction to computers and provides information about ways in which computer novices can learn new skills.
It ensures that people have access to services and interests which allow them to take the initiative in living their lives the way in which they want.
Age is no obstacle to using computers as we have found out time and time again in running taster sessions and courses in the libraries. He added: If you have never used a computer but have often wondered what it would be like, this is an ideal opportunity to try it, along with people in a similar situation and with help from library staff.
Tea and biscuits and a chat make this a relaxed and friendly occasion with no pressure and lots of support.

Beyond Construction & Remodeling Discusses the Importance of Home Weatherization
Wenatchee, WA (PRWEB) January 10, 2013
Preventing the unwanted circulation or infiltration of air not only improves the efficiency of a heating and cooling system, but also reduces humidity, dust and pollen; eliminates pests and noise; and even prevents the growth and spread of mold that may eventually compromise the structural integrity of a building. Bottom line, its an investment in your health and your home, said Ruben Ornelas, owner of Beyond Construction & Remodeling.
Ruben shares the most common places to check for drafts and tips for weatherizing a home.
- Check the attic weather-strip and insulate the attic access door.
- Seal around the outside of the chimney with metal flashing and a high-temperature sealant such as flue caulk.
- Seal around plumbing vents, both in the attic floor and in the roof. Check roof flashings, (where the plumbing vent pipes pass through the roof), for signs of water leakage while viewing the underside of the roof.
- Have a radiant barrier installed in the rafters or joists of the attic. This will reflect the radiant heat that strikes it.
- Incandescent fixtures should be upgraded to compact bulbs.
- Seal all other holes between the heated space and the attic.

Unpaid Overtime Wages For Plumbers - California Labor Laws - Baker Cunningham, LLP
Since the plumbing industry often involves responding to emergency situations such as broken pipes or clogged drains, most plumbers tend to work outside of the typical nine-to-five workday. Unfortunately, this results in many plumbers experiencing unfair wage practices that prevent them from receiving the overtime that they are entitled to. If you are a plumber that worked more than 40 hours that week, you are entitled to one and a half times the regular rate of pay for those hours over 40 and file against your current or former employer for uncollected overtime and damages. This includes all wages and benefits that have been illegally withheld, which can easily reach thousands of dollars each year. At Baker Cunningham, LLP, we have represented hundreds of employees in wage disputes against their employers, and will make sure that your voice is heard and that your rights are protected. If we accept your case, you will not be charged a retainer and there will be no attorney fee unless we recover money on your behalf. Call us for a free consultation today.
